The prices of French rapeseed and sunflower oil showed distinct movements between October 5 and 6, 2026, according to market reports. On the Chicago Board of Trade (Cbot), soy prices rose significantly on November 6, 2026, with the November 2026 contract climbing by 22.25 cents per bushel (cts$/boiss.) to 1,303 cts$/boiss., and the January 2027 contract increasing by 21.75 cts$/boiss. to 1,319.25 cts$/boiss. The overall increase was higher than 19.25 cts$/boiss. for all contracts up to July 2027. Meanwhile, on Euronext, the November 2026 rapeseed contract dropped by 14.50 euros per tonne (€/t) to 523 €/t, while the February 2027 contract rose by 3 €/t to 561 €/t. For all terms from February 2027 to February 2028, the rise was between 2 to 4 €/t. The Fob Moselle rapeseed prices followed Euronext trends for the nearest contracts. The soy session on the Cbot was driven by technical purchases and fund activity, with market participants waiting for the release of the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (Wasde) report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on October 9, 2026. This report is crucial for understanding global agricultural supply and demand. Market actors also considered a slight delay in the harvest, as updated by the USDA in its Crop Progress report, and the return of dry weather, which is expected to speed up fieldwork. However, rain is predicted for the following week, which may affect the pace of operations. The recent rise in the Brazilian real (+4% on Monday after elections) against the U.S. dollar favors U.S. soybean exports. On the other hand, Chinese tariffs on U.S. exports may discourage private Chinese buyers from importing more beans. However, Chinese public buyers are expected to maintain their purchase pace to meet the 25 million tonne target set in agreements with the U.S. a year earlier. Internationally, attention is focused on plantings in South America, particularly in Brazil, where heavy rains have disrupted the planting schedule. Brazil's National Supply Company (Conab) will release an updated soy report on October 15, 2026. Soy meal and soy oil prices rose on U.S. markets, reflecting an optimistic outlook and strong buyer interest in the oilseed complex. However, soy oil prices have risen sharply, and some operators may consider taking profits, although international demand remains strong. Rapeseed prices on Euronext declined slightly due to releases and technical sales on the nearest November 2026 contract, which had its last trading day on October 30. However, the trend for other open terms was bullish. Overall, demand for seeds appears to be low. A new rise in oil prices on Wednesday (confirmed on Thursday around 7 am Paris time) pushed prices upward. Notably, cumulative rapeseed imports in France since the start of the campaign (week 13) are slightly lower this year compared to last year. Rains are arriving in Western Europe and are expected to benefit winter crops. Canola prices in Winnipeg rose on Wednesday, reaching close to 826 Canadian dollars per tonne (CAN$/t) for the November 2026 contract and 839 CAN$/t for the January 2027 contract. Delays in harvesting are still observed in the Prairies. Meanwhile, palm oil prices in Kuala Lumpur fell due to profit-taking and concerns over record stock levels in Malaysia in September. However, professionals have noted growing interest from India, which is looking to buy after major festivals in the country, aided by a favorable ringgit exchange rate. Sunflower oil prices delivered in Saint-Nazaire remained unchanged from one session to the next. In the Black Sea region, sunflower harvests are expected to accelerate from October 6 to 13. In the United States, soybean yields are estimated at 54.1 bushels per acre for October by StoneX, prior to the release of the Wasde report on October 9. This is higher than the USDA's September estimate of 52.8 bushels per acre and the average consensus of 52.8 bushels per acre (range from 51.4 to 54.1 bushels per acre). Similarly, U.S. soybean production is estimated at 4.648 billion bushels for October by StoneX, higher than the USDA's September estimate of 4.535 billion bushels and the average consensus of 4.534 billion bushels (range from 4.415 to 4.648 billion bushels).
